IN AND OUT.

An administration working up case
for itself on the theorysof carrying out the
principles of civil service reform has just
removed from the Office OF postmaster at
Austin, Minnesota, a. O. Basford an old
WATERFOWL boy and the editor of The
Austin Register. Mr. Basford met with
bad luck few years since through the
destruction of bis printing Office, by the
falling Of the building in which it
was situated, and the community were
quite generally favorable to the PROPOSE
ton to allow Mr.. Basford to fill out his
term. But it would not dc, some Demo-
crat was hungry and thirsty and Mr.. Bas-
ford having what would appease the civil
service reformer was duly made to walk
the plank.

ANOTHER WINTER.

Saturday evening and a good share OF
Sunday was truly ''the winter of our dis
content for having tested the spring-like
sunshine for some days previous, we conld
without much stretch of imagination con-
slider ourselves out of the throes of winter.
But the snow commenced falling at a
furious rate and continued until it covered
the ground for foot or more by Sunday
noon, accompanied by severe, cold wind,
forming about one of the harshest and
most unpleasant visitations of the season.
1t is genuine set back to spring, but
warm weather may come all the quicker
for getting such vast amount of cold
out of the way.

THE JEFFERSON COUNTY ATLAS.

The subscribers IN this city 10 n. r.
Page & Co s Illustrated Atlas Of Jeffer-
son County have received the work this
week through the hands of the enterpris-
ing publishers The work fills the ex-
pectation OF the most exacting, and is
most creditable production, well printed
and strongly and finely bound. The work
contains maps of every township in the
county, with village and city plats, as
well as maps OF Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Mon
tana, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,
Texas, Washington territory, the United
States ard the world. 1t also contains
other valuable information, forming an
interesting and useful compendium that
every library in the county should possess.
On the township maps every land owner
is noted, making it an easy matter to find
oct the location and name of any resident
of the town. Other points might be men
toned to show the value and importance
of this work, but what we have said will
suffice, we think Fl. r. Page & Co.
have certainly met their obligations in
satisfactory manner, as their work before
Us proves.
